Star Trek: Apache - Episode #9
Week # 7
Mission: "Project: Overture, Part 1"

Host Jafo says:
While heading for Starbase 366, the crew of Apache has quickly found out the assassin assigned to kill Mr. Sotovik, was none other than Science Officer, Lieutenant Deidre Maura.

Host Jafo says:
While in the midst of questioning Miss Maura, Chief Engineer Jon Yeung was rendered unconscious and nearly murdered in the same manner of Chief Crapic. However, once recovered Mr. Yeung wasted no time informing the bridge and security of her pending actions.

Host Jafo says:
She managed to break into Mr. Sotovik's quarters while heavily guarded and succeed with her task, injuring Ensign Marsland and taking the life of Lt. Toros Asadourian. She then collapsed to the floor dead, having been gravely injured from phaser fire.

Host Jafo says:
The Apache is now in orbit of its homeport, Starbase 366, preparing for the funeral of Lieutenant's Asadourian and Maura, along with Transporter Chief Eugene Crapic.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Commander Linard accidentally yanks several strands of hair out...

FCO_Marsland says:
Self: Perfect, or as perfect as can be, I suppose...

Lt_Chiron says:

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::looks over at the pilot and in a rather cold and detached voice:: Chiron: Thank you.  Now let me out of here.  I'm getting claustrophobic.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::presses the chime outside Command Linard's quarters::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::hangs the Bat’leth on it:: Computer: Enter.

TO_Cha`Dak says:

CTO_Jokeg says:
::turns around:: TO: Yes?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Greetings: I am K’hora Cha`Dak, of the house Cha`Dak, and your new Tactical officer.

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Well, everything is pretty much prepared already. Planning on saying any words?

Host XO_Linard says:
::presses the doors to open and grins at the Captain::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: I am here to report for duty, and to accompany you to the burial ceremony.

OPS_Lowell says:
CEO: Do you think it would be appropriate?

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks herself over in the mirror one more time, stands at attention, and then marches toward the turbolift:: TL: Torpedo Bay!

Host CPT_Madred says:
::nods at the Commander as the door slides open:: XO: You seem to be in an awfully good mood...

Lt_Chiron says:
Rebecca: Yes, ma'am… ::quickly does as asked having had an earlier experienced with that impatient and arrogant Star Fleet lawyer … an experience he’d rather not go through again::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::looks at him:: TO: House Cha`Dak ... I know of your house. It’s a very honorable house.

CEO_Yeung says:
::shrug:: OPS: Only if your comfortable with it, you did serve under him for a while.

Host XO_Linard says:
Madred: Well I'm smiling through pain. I seem to be losing my hair in my old age...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::makes his way down to the torpedo bay and ducks as he passes through the door::

CEO: I would like to... ::voice trails off::

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits turbolift at torpedo bay::

Host CPT_Madred says:
XO: Hmm... ::steps aside and waves out his hand:: ...Commander Linard, I'd like to introduce T`Pir, Vulcan Minister of State.

FCO_Marsland says:
::thinks about the past couple weeks, and the deaths of his crewmates::

EO_Powers says:
::jumps in turbolift with Marsland::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods slowly at OPS, then looks out into space::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::looks in the mirror, checking his uniform:: TO: Let's go.

FCO_Marsland says:
Self: Not a very good service so far... ::looks up:: EO: Hello.

Host T`Pir says:
::moves into the Commander's line of site and bows deeply and respectfully, her long robes brushing the floor::

CSO_Storal says:
::enters the Torpedo bay and sees the CEO:: CEO: Mister Yeung everything set?

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::takes a quick look at her dress whites and checks her make up and hairdo with a compact mirror:: Chiron: About time.  ::grabs a 24th C looking briefcase ::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::follows the CTO, falling into step with him as they proceed to the Torpedo Bay::

OPS_Lowell says:
::sees the CSO:: CSO: Hello Commander, long time no see.

Host XO_Linard says:
::straightens and dips her head in a brief nod:: T`Pir: It is an honor.

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns to CSO:: CSO: Aye, sir, everything's ready.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::puts the mirror away and gets up:: Chiron: It's rather hot in here. ::steps out of the shuttle::  Good day.

EO_Powers says:
FCO: Hi … I see they’ve already chosen a new officer for my old post.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::looks around the bay wondering how they are going to fit the whole crew in here::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks around at all the officers and thinks of Armen::

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Well I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to be in here again.

FCO_Marsland says:
EO: Well, thank you. I'm sure you'll prove more than satisfactory down in Engineering.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::approaches and enters TL::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods in agreement:: CSO: Yeah, me too.

Host T`Pir says:
XO: I am indeed honored to meet you, Commander ... Captain Madred has had many good things to say about your crew. Not to mention Negotiator Sotovik's reports.

FCO_Marsland says:
::feels the TL reach the torpedo bay::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::steps into the TL:: TO: After this is over we should discuss Security Details ... over a mug of bloodwine, perhaps. ::grins::

EO_Powers says:
FCO: thank you.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Read your reports on what happened while I was on the Away Team. Good Job Lt.

FCO_Marsland says:
::exits the TL and looks around the torpedo bay::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::knows exactly where she's going and enters::  TL: Torpedo bay.  ::in a very businesslike tone::

CEO_Yeung says:
::smiles faintly:: CSO: Thank you, sir. Still ... I wish it could've ended better.

EO_Powers says:
::follows the FCO into the torpedo bay::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Agreed, Commander. It has been too long since I have had a competent drinking partner.

CTO_Jokeg says:
TL: Deck 12.

Host XO_Linard says:
T`Pir: Thank you, T`Pir. We aboard the Apache are at a loss for words about Mr. Sotovik and Mr. Sovonal. Their sacrifices were noble.

CSO_Storal says:
CEO: Don’t we all Jon ... don’ we all.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::grins:: TO: On the Qlb there were quite a few.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::tucks a loose strand of her hair behind her ear::

OPS_Lowell says:
::offers his hand to the CSO:: CSO: Greetings Commander Storal.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::straightens his dress clothing clumsily and looks around ducking under the low hanging supports and bumping his shoulders against the walls::

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to Mr. Marsland:: FCO: Hi Tom, how's it going?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: I can imagine. The Qlb has a certain ... reputation.

EO_Powers says:
::looks around the bay::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits TL and heads for the Torpedo Bay::

CSO_Storal says:
::smiles:: OPS: Mr. Lowell, welcome back.  ::shakes his hand::

Host T`Pir says:
::nods:: XO: Their sacrifices will not be in vain... ::glances at Madred out of the corner of her eye:: ...there will be a relationship between Cardassia and Vulcan yet. ::a little quieter:: ...regardless of the Federation's feelings on the matter.

CTO_Jokeg says:
TO: Indeed ... this is my first time serving aboard an actual Federation design vessel.

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks up from his thoughts to see the CMO in her dress uniform:: CMO: Hello Janet. I'm doing okay I suppose ... how have you been?

OPS_Lowell says:
::smiles faintly:: CSO: It's good to be back, Commander. I see you have let Lt. Yeung out from under your wing.

Host XO_Linard says:
T`Pir: You're dedication is admirable; I wish you the best of luck.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::chokes slightly:: XO/T`Pir: Well ... either way ... T`Pir has taken time out of her busy schedule to honor the members of this crew who lost there lives in the recent mission.

CTO_Jokeg says:
::walks beside K’hora::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::snarls very slightly::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: It is not the same, sir. Everything is so ... comfortable.

CSO_Storal says:
::chuckles:: OPS: Well I thought I'd better before he took my job.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::after several stops while waiting for other crew members to get on or off, she finally makes it to the Torpedo Bay, Deck 12::

CTO_Jokeg says:
TO: I have noticed that.

Host T`Pir says:
::nods:: XO: And now, Commander ... would you escort an aged woman to the ceremony?

Host XO_Linard says:
CPT/T`Pir: You are most welcome to join us. ::looks at the Captain and motions down the hallway:: Shall we proceed?

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::steps off the TL:: Self: Well ... that was a nuisance anyways. ::looks at a PADD and then glances around the room::

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Well, I had to get out of those darn science bays sooner or later. ::chuckles softly::

OPS_Lowell says:
::grins:: CSO: That too, sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
::looking concerned:: FCO: I'm doing okay. I just can't help but think of Toros' son though, you know?

OPS_Lowell says:
CEO: …and had to come into my domain, eh?

CTO_Jokeg says:
::walks into the Torpedo Bay, looking around::

Host XO_Linard says:
::smirks and nods:: T`Pir: I'd be honored. ::leads the way::

OPS_Lowell says:
::grins at the CEO::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::feels someone bump into his waist and looks down:: Taylor: Excuse me, Ma'am...

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::enters the torpedo bay, and looks around::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
:: looks up ... way up... at the "friendly giant":: Jax: Of course...

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CTO: Would you like to meet our Chief medical officer, and our new Flight Control Officer, Commander?

FCO_Marsland says:
CMO: Yeah, I know how you must feel. Who will be taking care of him?

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Well, with you being away and all that... ::shrugs::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods:: TO: Yes.

EO_Powers says:
::looks for CEO::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
Jax: My apologies.... ::looks around a bit:: Jax: Perhaps you can help me here ... um ... Mister?

OPS_Lowell says:
CEO: Too true...

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::scowls at her:: Taylor: I don't really recognize you as a member of this crew... ::turns full towards her squaring his shoulders aggressively in her direction::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns and approaches CMO Naegle::

CMO_Naegle says:
FCO:  For now, I am.  I talked it over with Jeff Torres and he suggested that I take him for now.

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks over to see an unknown person being talked at by Jaxlt::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::walks with him::

Host T`Pir says:
::hooks her arm with Linard's and walks with her slowly::

FCO_Marsland says:
CMO: That's good.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::pompously:: Self: How rude! ::looks around the room again::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CMO: Greetings, Lieutenant.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::follows behind T`Pir and Linard feeling uncharacteristically like the third wheel::

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks at the TO::

Host XO_Linard says:
::takes her time keeping with T`Pir's pace glancing at Captain Madred::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::puffs his chest out a little, proud of how he looks in his whites::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::a slight scowl across her pretty face, as she tries to find who is the CMO::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::growls deeply as Taylor turns her back to him ... turn her back on a Brikar? Must be a lawyer!::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to FCO::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::waves over a security officer with a big sweeping gesture of his arm::

CMO_Naegle says:
::sees TO approaching:: TO: Greetings, K’hora.  You're going to look good in a Tactical uniform!

FCO_Marsland says:
CMO/TO: Excuse me for one moment. ::walks over to Rebecca:: Rebecca: Can I help you, Miss?

Host XO_Linard says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 12

Host CPT_Madred says:
::steps into the turbolift with T`Pir and the Commander:: XO: I understand Captain Tyler was called away for an Emergency briefing?

OPS_Lowell says:
::walks to the CMO:: CMO: Hello Janet ... its been a while.

EO_Powers says:
::heads towards the CEO::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::with a serious face:: CMO: Thank you, doctor. May I introduce Commander Jokeg, our new Chief Tactical Officer.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
FCO: Ah ... a gentleman at last! ::snarls in Jax’s direction, and then turns back to the FCO with a pleasant smile:: FCO: Taylor ... Rebecca Taylor … Judge Advocate General’s officer, Starbase 366. I was Mister Asadourian’s Attorney.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::glares at the OPS for his rude intrusion::

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks to Jax, and waves him off::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods to the Doctor:: CMO: Doctor....

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::takes a step towards Taylor ... then sees Marsland and sullenly backs off::

OPS_Lowell says:
::ignores the TO::

CEO_Yeung says:
::notices EO approaching:: EO: Ah, Ensign Powers. ::extends hand towards him::

FCO_Marsland says:
Rebecca: I see... ::smiles:: ...you're here for the funeral, or ... other business?

Host XO_Linard says:
Capt: Yes, She didn't say what exactly took her away, but I have a feeling it is an urgent family matter. She'll probably explain further when she returns.

CMO_Naegle says:
;:nods to the CTO and OPS: CTO/OPS: Yes, Craig, it has been a long time … nice to meet you, Jokeg.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::shakes FCO's hand briefly:: FCO: Getting down to business, Mister …?

CTO_Jokeg says:
::nods::

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Hello, sir. ::shakes hand::

Host XO_Linard says:
::feels the turbolift halt and exits ... heading for the Torpedo bay::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::looks at the XO oddly:: XO: She has returned, Commander ... she's aboard the Starbase right now attending an emergency briefing. Most of the senior sectors Captain’s are.

FCO_Marsland says:
Rebecca: Flight Control Officer, Ensign Tom Marsland, at your service ma'am.

FCO_Marsland says:
::shakes Rebecca's hand::

OPS_Lowell says:
::winks:: CMO: just thought I would say hi. Catch you later?

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Welcome to the Engineering staff. I only wished that is was under different circumstances.

Host T`Pir says:
::looks up at Madred:: CPT: Nothing to urgent, I hope...

Host XO_Linard says:
::looks to the Captain, her eyebrows furrowed:: Capt: Strange I wasn't notified ... I must check into that after the funeral.

Rebecca_Taylor says:
FCO: Good, good, would you please be so kind as to point out Doctor Naegle to me?

CMO_Naegle says:
OPS:  Sure, talk to you later.

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks over at Janet to see her involved in almost every conversation with all the new crew::

Host CPT_Madred says:
T`Pir: I'm not certain ... I haven't been briefed yet. ::bows to her:: T`Pir: Your presence took precedent.

EO_Powers says:
CEO: As do I … I will try to impress you over the time I’m with you.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::tugs at his collar, unused to his dress whites::

OPS_Lowell says:
:;bows slightly to the CMO and walks away::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: With a whirring of mechanical mechanisms, a technician raises the torpedo casings up into the dual torpedo launcher as a hush falls over the torpedo bay.

EO_Powers says:
::knows that sounded lame::

CTO_Jokeg says:
TO: Uncomfortable?

OPS_Lowell says:
::Walks to the CEO's side::

CEO_Yeung says:
::nods at EO:: EO: I look forward to it.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns at the sound::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
FCO: And to answer your previous question ... yes ... I have business to attend to on the ship.

FCO_Marsland says:
Rebecca: Perhaps it would be better to discuss what you need to after the funeral ma'am? ::takes on a somber look:: We've all been through some rough times lately, Ms. Taylor.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::whispers to CTO:: CTO: Yes.

Host T`Pir says:
::nods and brushes off the comment as if it would take too much effort to respond::

Host XO_Linard says:
::makes it to the Torpedo bay with the Captain and T`Pir::

CEO_Yeung says:
::turns his attention to the torpedo casings::

CSO_Storal says:
All: Captain on deck! ::snaps to attention::

CMO_Naegle says:
::stands at attention::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::taps foot impatiently:: FCO: This matter must be taken care off immediately. Now, please, which officer is Doctor Janet Naegle?

CEO_Yeung says:
::stands at attention::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::noticing things are starting, quiets down, stands at attention::

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks to see Capt. enter, stands to attention::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands at attention::

OPS_Lowell says:
::goes to attention::

EO_Powers says:
::stands to attention::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::sighs and stands at attention, like the rest of the crew::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The assembled crewmembers snap to attention, the room bursting at its seams, filled to Capacity.

FCO_Marsland says:
::whispers:: Rebecca: I'm sorry ma'am, it'll have to wait.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::wedges himself as much into a corner as possible ... not very easy to do ... hates crowds, but is trying to deal with it::

Armen Asadourian says:
::wanders silently into the Torpedo room, by himself and slips in between the crew, until he's up in the front, in a corner where no one can see him::

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods to the Captain to take T`Pir to a seat and nods to Storal to follow her::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::shows T`Pir to a seat that was prepared for her presence::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::glances at the young boy just entering::

Host T`Pir says:
::sits down with a heavy sigh and leans heavily on her cane::

CSO_Storal says:
::follows the XO to the podium::

Host XO_Linard says:
::takes the podium, overlooking the crowd::

CMO_Naegle says:
::notices Armen walking in::

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks to the XO::

Host XO_Linard says:
::waits for a moment before beginning, making sure she has everyone's attention::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks over to Armen, and wishes she could squeeze through the crowd to get to him::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::only moves her eyes to see Armen ... recognizing him from before::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The crew stands at attention in absolute silence waiting for the Commander to start her eulogy.

Host XO_Linard says:
ALL: Crew and honored guests, we have all gathered here today to honor our fellow crewmates, and our friends, Lieutenant Toros Asadourian, Lieutenant Deidre Maura, and Senior Chief Petty Officer Eugene Crapic.

Host XO_Linard says:
ALL: Each of them were valued members of this crew who have served Starfleet and us well, they will be missed.

Host XO_Linard says:
::looks to Toros' tube:: ALL: I have only known Mr. Asadourian a short time after transferring to Apache and from what I knew of him, he was a very dedicated member of our engineering team.

Host XO_Linard says:
All: ...he was a friend to a lot of you, and from what I have witnessed, well respected and very well liked.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles at the mention of Toros' name::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::fondly recalls Toros helping him fix his gravity belt::

Armen Asadourian says:
::tries to peer into the Torpedo ... one last glimpse::

FCO_Marsland says:
::thinks about how badly Toros was murdered and hangs his head, thinking there was something more he could've done::

Host XO_Linard says:
::pauses and looks to Maura's tube::

CMO_Naegle says:
::remembers Toros helping her when the Cardassians had her pinned in sickbay::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::remembers what a pain in the pulsar the Lieutenant was with his constant requests for improved engineering facilities for the Apache::

FCO_Marsland says:
::wonders what the XO will say about the traitor::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::remembers Toros as a man who had weird ideas::

Host XO_Linard says:
All: Miss Deidre Maura was also a dedicated officer of Starfleet. She served with dignity and respect as an instructor aboard the An Lu Shan before transferring to our crew...

CTO_Jokeg says:
::hasn't had the chance to read the report on what exactly happened, makes a mental note to do so::

CMO_Naegle says:
::stiffens, since Maura's the one who killed Toros::

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::doesn't know Maura::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::lowers his eyebrows slightly at the thought of the dishonorable death she suffered::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::recalls Maura and how much she liked the way he made Margarita's for her in Fort Apache::

EO_Powers says:
::remembers Toros helping when John was attacked and forced to stab the Vulcan officer::

Host XO_Linard says:
All: ...from her records, I have seen she did her job to the best of her ability and taught with the knowledge only someone in her field could possess.

Armen Asadourian says:
::heart hardens at the mention of Auntie Maura::

FCO_Marsland says:
::feels bad that he was forced to kill her::

CEO_Yeung says:
::eyes Toros' torpedo, remember what went on between them before::

Host XO_Linard says:
All: ...from her time on Apache, she has performed with nothing less than the greatest of her skills and we will be at a loss without her knowledge and expertise.

Host CPT_Madred says:
::seems to recall her original transfer orders ... thinks that Toros must have thought awfully high of her to request she be transferred from the An Lu Shan along with him::

Host XO_Linard says:
::pauses and looks to Mr. Crapic’s tube::

Host XO_Linard says:
All: And last but certainly not least, Eugene Crapic, our Chief Transporter Operator…

Host XO_Linard says:
All: His skill and achievements aboard Apache will be sorely missed…

Rebecca_Taylor says:
::getting a cramped neck from having to stand so stiffly ... it's been a while since she had to do that::

FCO_Marsland says:
::looks at all his crewmates, notices how few there are now with 3 missing from their ranks::

Armen Asadourian says:
::squats down, and then falls on his knees::

OPS_Lowell says:
;:thinks about all his experiences with Toros::

CMO_Naegle says:
::wishes she could have gotten to know Crapic better::

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::thinks he will Miss Maura ... liked having something of a kindred spirit around::

Host XO_Linard says:
::pauses and bows her head for a moment::

FCO_Marsland says:
::feels how sad everyone is at this rare event::

Host XO_Linard says:
::looks up at everyone then nods at Mr. Storal to take over::

CSO_Storal says:
::walks to the podium:: All: Mr. Asadourian was the embodiment of an engineer. He was with the Apache since she was launched, and one can’t help but see him each time one looks around Main Engineering. If you listen you can almost hear him say "what did you do to my ship this time".

Armen Asadourian says:
::was very proud of his daddy. ::

FCO_Marsland says:
::smiles at the CSO's words::

Host CPT_Madred says:
::lets out a slight chuckle before composing himself ... remembers Toros saying those exact words::

Host T`Pir says:
::cocks an eyebrow slightly::

OPS_Lowell says:
::smiles at the CSO's words::

Host XO_Linard says:
::smirks as she listens to Storal ... makes a mental note to get to know everyone on her crew from now on::

CSO_Storal says:
All: He will definitely be missed not only by the people in Engineering and on this ship. But by the many people he has made friends with through Starfleet.

Host Jaxlt_Burta says:
::remembers CEO Y'ule and Toros had become fairly close friends when Toros first came aboard::

CMO_Naegle says:
::hears him say those words in a voice sounding like the legendary Montgomery Scott, a fellow engineer, from the original Enterprise::

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at Maura's Tube:: All: I unfortunately didn’t have the pleasure of working with Lt. Maura. I was looking forward to learning from her. She would have made her Chief a student.

CSO_Storal says:
All: It will be hard to replace her

CMO_Naegle says:
::thinks not bloody likely::

Armen Asadourian says:
::lets out a soft sniffle::

CSO_Storal says:
All: Mr. Crapic has served this ship above and beyond Starfleet’s call to duty. Lieutenant Asadourian, Lieutenant Maura, and Chief Crapic have finished this path the Prophets have set for them and have begun a new one, a path that they alone can travel.

CSO_Storal says:
::nods at the XO, letting her know that he is done::

Host XO_Linard says:
::takes the podium next to Storal and nods to the CEO to begin the launch of the Torpedo tubes::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The torpedoes settle into their cradles with a light thud ... as bagpipes begin to play Amazing Grace.

Armen Asadourian says:
::tries to control himself ... but after all ... he is only three::

CSO_Storal says:
ALL: Attention to orders!

CSO_Storal says:
::salutes::

OPS_Lowell says:
::salutes::

FCO_Marsland says:
::salutes::

CEO_Yeung says:
::sees XO's signal and begins to launch each torpedo one after the other::

TO_Cha`Dak says:

Armen Asadourian says:
::sobs::

CTO_Jokeg says:
::salutes::

CMO_Naegle says:

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At Storal's order the honor guard moves in and removes the UFP flag from the torpedo casings.

EO_Powers says:
::salutes::

CEO_Yeung says:
::salutes::

Rebecca_Taylor says:

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Each casings slides down its track until its hidden from view by the launcher ... the tube doors seal ... and the quiet thud of the torpedoes being launched resounds through the room once ... twice ... three times.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Each torpedo streaks through space on its own course leaving only the light from its engines to mark its path. The torpedoes will run until they’re engines die out, at which point it God’s choosing will decide the ultimate fate of each body. It is most likely that each will eventually fall into the gravity of a passing meteor or planet and meet its fiery death, burning up in the atmosphere.  To the men and women of the USS Apache though, these brave officers will never die. They’ll live on forever, in their memories.
